With his extensive experience and musical abilities, Dr. Ray Martin will delight guests at Concord College with a piano recital on Monday, April 14, 2003, Alexander Fine Arts Center, Room M105. (The performance was originally scheduled for Monday, March 31, however, the College was closed due to a power outage.)
